Available off bench Calmese (ankle) is available off the bench for Tuesday's game at Virginia Tech, David Cunningham of Tech Sideline reports.

Impact Cunningham had been ruled out for the season in late February, but he was deemed questionable for this contest and now will be an option off the bench. Calmese averaged 10.1 points, 4.8 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 25.0 minutes per contest in the regular season.

Game-time call Calmese (ankle) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's ACC Tournament game against Virginia Tech.

Impact Calmese, who had previously been ruled out for the season, was surpsingly upgraded to questionable ahead of Tuesday's game, and he'll officially be a game-time decision. The senior point guard has played in one game since Jan. 27, so he could face some sort of restrictions if cleared to play.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Chance to play Tuesday Calmese (undisclosed) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's ACC Tournament game against Virginia Tech.

Impact Calmese's questionable tag is a shock, considering he had previously been considered out for the season. However, it looks like the senior guard could return to the hardwood for Tuesday's conference tournament contest. He missed nine of Wake Forest's final 10 regular-season games, so he could be limited if available.

Won't return this season Calmese (undisclosed) will miss the rest of the season after suffering an injury Wednesday versus Boston College, Cam Lemons Debro of 247sports.com reports.

Impact Calmese returned Wednesday after a six-game absence. His return was short-lived as he departed with an injury after just six minutes of action. Calmese will close the book on his fourth collegiate season, averaging 10.1 points, 4.8 assists, two rebounds and 1.4 steals in 25 minutes per contest. Sebastian Akins and Isaac Carr are set for increased roles for the remainder of the season.

Out vs. Syracuse Calmese (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's game against Syracuse.

Impact Calmese has been the starting floor general for Wake Forest most of the season, so his absence will hurt the team considerably. He's averaging 10.1 points and 4.8 assists per game, and since he won't be running the point Saturday, look for Sebastian Atkins and Myles Colvin to see more minutes in the backcourt.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Scores five in return Calmese (ankle) accumulated five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and two assists in six minutes during Wednesday's 68-67 loss to Boston College.

Impact Calmese, who returned from a six-game absence, logged five points and two assists across six minutes of action during Wednesday's loss against the Eagles. The 6-foot-2 senior, who started in the Demon Deacons' first 21 games of the season, will look to continue working his way up to a full workload ahead of Saturday's game against Syracuse.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call at BC Calmese (ankle) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's game at Boston College.

Impact Calmese was questionable in Tuesday's report, and he'll now be an official game-time decision as he inches towards a return after a six-game absence. The senior guard's sprained right ankle has progressively been getting better as of late. He shed his walking boot a week ago and was given a one-to-two-week timeline for return at that point. If he's unable to get to action against the Eagles, Calmese will aim to make his return versus Syracuse this Saturday.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Chance to play Wednesday Calmese (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Boston College.

Impact Calmese has a shot to make his first appearance since Jan. 27, when he sustained a sprained right ankle. The guard shed his walking boot a week ago and was given a one-to-two-week timetable for return at that point. Even if he can't go Wednesday, it looks like Calmese will be back on the court very soon.

Likely needs one-to-two weeks Calmese (ankle) is scheduled to shed his protective boot Monday but is still one-to-two weeks away from returning, per Cam Lemons Debro of 247Sports.

Impact Calmese's latest update brings both uplifting and worrisome news from Wake Forest. The positive part is that Calmese sheds his protective boot, meaning he can test the injured ankle without limitations. Though the senior will sit out at least two more games, he can return as early as Feb. 24, when Wake Forest will be at Boston College. Yet, if Calmese needs two weeks, his return date will be pushed back to March, and the question becomes whether or not he can return before WF's regular season comes to a close.

Sidelined indefinitely Calmese suffered a Grade 3 right ankle sprain and will be out indefinitely, Conor O'Neill of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Calmese is set to miss considerable time after suffering a severe ankle sprain in the loss to Pitt on Tuesday. The fourth-year guard is averaging 10.4 points, 4.9 assists, two rebounds and 1.4 steals per game while shooting at a career-best clip from downtown. Sebastian Akins is the likeliest candidate to replace Calmese in the starting lineup for the foreseeable future.

Doesn't return Calmese (ankle) did not return after sustaining an injury in the first half ot Tuesday's overtime loss to Pitt.

Impact Calmese's day ended after just 10 minutes played, as the starting guard turned his ankle in the first half. Injury specifics are unclear at this point, but his next chance to play will come Saturday against NC State. He logged 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and one rebound before departing Tuesday.

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Turns ankle against Pitt Calmese (ankle) went back to the locker room late in the first half of Tuesday's game against Pittsburgh, Cam Lemons of 247sports reports.

Impact Calmese landed on a teammate's foot and rolled his ankle in the closing minutes of the first half and hobbled back to the locker room. The starting point guard is averaging 10.4 points and 5.2 assists per game this season, so his absence is a significant blow to the Demon Deacons' offense.
